Career and Style
Kim was big judo talent from his young age but his seniors results in Lightweight cathegory were not such excelent as they were predicted.
In 2005 he injuried left shoulder and this injury limited him many times in future and led to other injuries.
For Olympic season 2008 he changed weight cathegory to 81kg (Half-Middleweight). He came with this idea in 2007 after getting less opportunities fighting in national team. In 2007 South Korea had 3 great lightweighters - himself, rising star Gi-Chun Wang and practised Won-Hui I.
The change of cathegory proved to be very good step for his future career. In 2008 he won silver medal at Olympic Games in Beijing and for next years became almost unbeatable judoka.
In 2012 he made his dream come true after winning Olympic gold medal.
Kim's judo is focus on perfection. This come from his hard work ethic. He is very tough fighter with powerful grips (kumikata) and he exceles in both nage-waza and ne-waza. His true magic is in determination.
Kim have had big troubles with left side of his body. Before Olympic Games in London the situation for him was very critical. He missed many tournaments because of left shoulder which he dislocated again in December 2011 and to that he had about a year problems with left knee. About month before games he fell on his left elbow and he tore ligaments in elbow and in two fingers of left hand. His injuries were described like very serious.<ref>http://news.khan.co.kr/kh_news/khan_art_view.html?artid=201208012022331&code=980901</ref>
